    The same grocery that costed me 50 euros back in the pre 24/02/2022 days now cost like 70,its absurd and the worst thing is that no left wing movement is rely doing something meaningful besides empty protests.

      My basic shop has almost doubled in the last year. I really don’t know what people are buying to see increases of ‘only’ 18%.

      I can only imagine that everyone else is buying their caviar, wagyu, and lobster in bulk to cut down on the unit price.

    i can attest that the prices are going up in Netherlands considerably. e.g. 2022 saw a 30% increase of people obtaining food from food-banks (ref)

    imo, it’s all thanks to the Agenda2030( S.D.G. , U.N.) climate fanatics in the Dutch government. While mega-corporations have insane profit, we’re being told it’s the oil prices etc.

    Also, during covid, govt also did a good job in ensuring nobody with good idea’s had entrance to them. e.g. air-filtration developers were set for testing etc, but govt had faked its interest.(2x 1st hand sources). Result: all went as govt pleased, causing much damage both to people and small businesses. i’m thoroughly convinced there’s blackmail of the worst kind involved.(e.g. dutch)
